Mine are the stock bars. I just moved them down a bit recently and they are a lot more comfortable.

I have an 09 FLHRC and changed to 2015 Road King bars. I' 6'4" 200lbs and much more comfortable, the pain in my left shoulder after riding awhile is no more.

I've got the 518s on my king and love them. I have had wider bars but these really make for great riding. Makes out on the highway easy to steer and easy to turn in parking lot also.

I've been riding the 0518's for over ten years now on my 2002 RKC. Craftsmanship on them is top rate, they're pretty comfortable out on the road as well.

Hi Mastiff, as Firefox said, they are stock bars. They are ok but I am 5"7 and find they are just a bit low and make me lean forward a bit. I am going to change them but cant decide what to go for, maybe a bit higher and I also want to run cables inside to clean up the front end. My bike is still in the planning stage but I am getting lots of ideas on here.

Default Some new pics

Made a few changes to the King. Replaced fishtails with downturns, lowered the front fender and added chrome lower forks and chrome calipers, Street Glide tail light. I'm likin' it.

I dig the downturns.
